Dirty Old Town littlerich is a Viking!!:36990.jpg



Quote: A.N.Other Viking "1.Spruce (better for us but Peachey was a better player)

2.Blanch (class)
3.Hughes (was at times superb in SL others done it in NL)
4.JD ( solid, I will put Moule ahead of him in 2 weeks though)
5.Munro (solid with a bit of pace)

6.Scarts (when he left was never replaced big reason of our downfall)
7.Eaton (only cos theres nobody better worst position for us)

8.Relf (good solid)
9.Millard (got us moving round the PTB)
10.O'Connor (top metres in a relagated side says it all)

11.McCurrie (for jibbing dire to come back to us then scoring that try against them)
12.Cass (workhorse)

13.Frame (solid)

subs


A pretty good side when firing so I'd go with that.

As you say, scrum half has always been our issue and Eaton, though never spectacular always gave his best. I also think special mention should got to Martin Crompton who was great for us in our promotion campaign. He partnered Agar brilliantly - another who is unlucky to miss out.

Quote: Mark "Some good players there. Didn't Cantillon score about 40 one year? I had to laugh when I seen Relfs name, I just remember Appo laughing at at him in the last minute at the Stobart. Finnegan and Carter were good ones as well. No room for Kevin penny?'"



He was a top player in his first two seasons as a Widnes player was Relf.

Think Cantillon scored 47 (?) in the old NFP in the promotion season. Either way it was a world record for a forward and it probably will stand for the rest of our lifetimes!

Finnigan went in my selection on raw ability. In the shambolic season of 05, he cared as little as the rest of Endacott's flops. Never really took to Carter myself.


What's everyone's thoughts on Andy Hay? He was made to be a massive scapegoat in his time at Widnes but he had the respect of his team-mates and coaches, being made captain at one stage.

I thought we were better with the ball when Weston played with Eaton - Cas away and Leeds home spring to mind from that season. I liked Carter, he had the right attitude and was hard as nails but the backs played better off Weston IMO.

I thought he did little to warrant the very good money he was on at this time at the club and was overall very disappointing.
Hay was also involved in the shambolic goings on that resulted in Neil Kelly's forced departure as accepting the captaincy after it was 'removed' from Jules caused a split within the dressing room. I don't blame him as much as I blame the Jules supporters that formed the other side but more could have been done as the club captain to harmonise the situation instead of allowing it to descend into the sorry state it did.
He came as a big name and didn't deliver for mine.. but at least he played unlike his mate Ryan.
